An English politician has claimed he fathered a child with his alien lover.

Labour councillor Simon Parkes, who sits on Whitby Town Council, defended his belief in extra-terrestrial visitors on the UK Channel 4 documentary Confessions of an Alien Abductee on Thursday.

The 53-year-old driving instructor claims he has sex with an alien called the Cat Queen about four times a year and has a child called Zarka with her.

"What will happen is that we will hold hands and I will say 'I'm ready' and then the technology I don't understand will take us up to a craft orbiting the earth," Cr Parkes said.

He said his wife was angry when he told her about his relationship with the Cat Queen but he didn't think it was wrong because he wasn't cheating on her with another human.

He told the documentary his first memory of an alien encounter was being lifted from his cot by an extra-terrestrial being.

Cr Parkes believes his "real" mother is a 7.74 metre tall green alien with eight fingers but says anyone who spends time with him will realise he isn't "mad".
